    Hey guys,

    I enjoy your podcasts, especially this one talking about all the connect trouble you have when going to HD.
    I found your page actually by searching for podcasts with this topic-area in google.
    Coincidentally I’m german too, not that it matters.

    Also here is a suggestion for a future podcast: Linear games(gameplay) vs. Open world / sandbox games

    Keep up your awesome work.

    Best Regards.

About

Game Design Reviews is a Blog used by a group of game designers from Germany to publish and discuss their thoughts on various games. The blog consists entirely of reviews of games. Each review focuses on the important game design ideas and concepts of that particular game. We also run a second, more informal Blog called Game Design Scrapbook.
